Johny Walker Ad

I did not understand it at first but the ending makes it all make sense. Very touching ad.

I don't drink but the ad definitely got my attention.

Very well done. Here is a transcript of the poem:

Walking the roads of our youth

Through the land of our childhood, our home, and our truth

Be near me, guide me, always stay beside me

So I can be free

Free

Let’s roam this place, familiar and vast

Our playground of green frames our past

We were wanderers

Never lost

Always home

When every place was fenceless

And time was endless

Our ways were always the same

Cool my demons and walk with me, my brother

Until our roads lead us away from each other

And if your heart’s full of sorrow, keep walking

Don’t rest

And promise me from heart to chest to never let your memories die

Never

I will always be alive and by your side

In your mind

I’m free

Ole Johny is trying to change its demographic from old guys to hipsters who are in love with all kinds of whiskey now.

Blech!

Hipsters in my area are still drinking PBR and craft brews.
